Weekly Favorites and Weekend Plans

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a wonderful week. This weekend, we're celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, having dinner with friends, and enjoying a family dinner at home on Sunday. Summer is my favorite time of year, and since the kids in Arizona go back to school in early August, we're trying to make the most of this last month. Don't forget to enter this week's giveaway for a chance to win a Lumebox and some of my favorite wellness products! Here are a few highlights from my week: * A funny moment with Mazer * A delicious pasta salad and steak night! Here's what I included in the pasta salad: * NOW Foods quinoa pasta * Roasted red pepper * Cucumber * Artichoke hearts * Kalamata olives * Feta * Fresh mint and basil * Seasoning: leftover pesto, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano I made a large batch, and we enjoyed it for several days. It's time for my weekly Friday Favorites! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I'd love to hear about your favorites as well, so please share them in the comments below. **Fashion, Beauty, and Random Favorites:** Thank you so much to everyone who has used my links to shop the EquiLife sale, the Amazon Prime Day sale, and the Nordstrom sale this week! EquiLife and Nordstrom sales are still ongoing. If you're interested in ordering a detox kit for our fall detox (starting the day after Labor Day), you can find the link [here]. Public access for the Nordstrom sale begins tomorrow, and here are some of the bestsellers so far: * This perfect travel backpack * This classic tote for work, travel, or everyday use * This kids' fleece hoodie * This adorable girls' set * This gentle daily cleanser that's safe for my eyes * This cozy sweater at an amazing price * I ordered this for Liv for Christmas You can browse all of my top picks [here]! If you're planning to shop during public access tomorrow, create a wish list today to make adding items to your cart easier. I also love this Anthro dress. It's true to size, features the trendy drop waist style, and is lightweight enough for hot weather. We ordered a Skylight during Prime Day and are already loving it. We've synced our Google calendars to easily track weekly, monthly, and daily schedules, add meal plans and recipe links, and create chore charts and rewards for the kids. As someone who used to rely on paper planners, I resisted digital calendars for years. However, I've realized that with the kids' schedules and my husband's work schedule, this is the best way to keep track of everything for everyone. **Read, Watch, Listen:** Trader Joe's shopping ideas. You can find all of my podcast episodes [here]! **Fitness, Health, and Good Eats:** I'm getting back into studio fitness classes, and this week I returned to Pure Barre. It was a challenging but rewarding workout. You can still get 50% off 12 months of workouts [here]. Easy weeknight dinners. I'm ordering as much as possible from Thrive Market and Butcher Box right now. It's quicker and easier to just pick up produce, eggs, and dairy at the grocery store. This shrimp sushi bake looks delicious! Thank you for visiting the blog today! Have a wonderful weekend, and I'll see you soon! Best, Gina
